I followed your tips, step by step, and landed an in person interview within 15 minutes of the Skype session. In fact, I was better prepared than the interviewer. Always good to go above and beyond for interviews.
here's a few things if you are interested in abundance Before starting the manifestation process, you should take the necessary time to release all your disbelief in your power to be happy. Use your clear decision and spend time every day sitting with the feeling of what you desire. (I discovered these and more ideas on Makale magic method site )
This video covers some great stuff! I used to hire online teachers and let me share some things NOT to do in a video interview: don't sit on your bed or have your bed in the background, don't have the bathroom visible in the background, don't wear workout clothes, and ladies...watch the v-necklines because they can accidentally show more than you intend to in a business setting. I am really glad he included the information about looking into the camera. That makes a HUGE difference. Great video!
These are all good tips and presented in an understandable and easy-going format. I would also suggest a couple of things. If you can't control the room noise, a headset can help a ton with sound issues. The downside is that you could look a bit like a call-in center operator. The other suggestion is to make sure you have a strong wifi or other internet connection. The third suggestion is to practice ahead of time and do a dry-run with a friend so the they can give you feedback on how you look and sound.
I've had quite a few successful interviews over Skype and this is great advice. I would add that I always wear something neutral-colored if not professional on bottom, in case something unexpected happens and I have to stand up, potentially on screen! Also I like to know what I'm looking like on screen so I always move the little window with my face to the top, center of the screen (aka right under the camera) so I can look at the camera and keep myself in my peripheral vision.
I recently had a Skype task conversation with a client and she was looking down to the notebook camera. Good point on avoiding that! This short video is crisp and well done, not just useful for interviews but for anything involving YOU (presenting, teaching, showing how something is done, etc.) and your face.
Nice video content! Sorry for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (erm, check it on google should be there)? It is a great exclusive product for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate finally got great results with it.

Thanks for the Video! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (just google it)? It is a great one off product for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview minus the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my old buddy Taylor at last got excellent success with it.
Excellent tips and easy to follow. As a recruiter, this is great info for me to share with my candidates who may be doing interviews via Skype. Thanks Matt
This is a really excellent how-to. I have to do a TV interview in an hour, and we weren't able to find a rental studio in Bali on a Saturday, so luckily I had my MacBook Air with me. A lot of things were obvious, but this is a clear presentation, and is great as a checklist. This video itself is well produced, too, so it's reassuring as to your competence and knowledge of the subject. A good trick: cover the screen of laptop with a sheet of paper during interview to remember to look at camera.
This was really useful. I have never had to do an interview online so I didn´t know what to expect, and this really made me realize that there was much more to be taken into consideration than I thought.
This is great! It's concise and not full of fluff. I'm going to add it to my "tips and tricks" folder to share with candidates to help prepare them for Skype interviews.Thanks for sharing.
One of the most helpful tutorials I have watched. Ever. Your clear speaking really helped! Many of the comments contain additional helpful info. Thank you.
I am a recruiter and am forced to set up many skype interviews. These are excellent tips! I plan to give this link to anyone going on skype interviews for me in the future. The only thing I would add is a message to people with a different mother tongue other than english. Many of the people I submit have thick accents that prevent them from being properly understood. It is one of the top 3 reasons I see people fail to get the job. They should make extra effort to speak slowly and clearly, and when asked to repeat something they said, they should try to find different words to say it. ...but i guess that's not unique to just skype interviews.
This is the best video I have seen to send to my candidates for a video interview!! You go straight to the point, you have a perfect tone of voice and you are brief saying everything we need!! I hate those videos where people talk like they are in a children program. GOOD JOB!!!
I watched this video 2 years ago for my graduate study's entrance test. Thanks God, i passed the examination. This video helped me much. I prepared all tips. Anyway, a problem occurred with my office's wifi just a few minutes before the interview, so that i used skype in my smartphone rather than my laptop. Therefore, it is also better to check our internet connection and skype quality.
Really clear instructions which I am sure to remember in the morning when I have an interview on FaceTime (urgh!). Glad I took the trouble to search for these tips. 4 mins is just right 👌
Thanks for the tips. Really useful, simple and effective. I used it in a job interview, where I{m sure I looked much better than if I had not watched your tips video. Now I am doing a video with some classmates for a course in my masters degree, and I am sharing it with them so we can look professional. Thanks, pal.
Well done! I really like the tip regarding avoiding rooms with echoes. I just just tested out two rooms (recorded audio and listened to how it sounded) where I was considering doing my Skype interview from and will definitely eliminate what I thought was going to be my first choice as there is way too much echo. Also, I like what you said about putting the camera level so as to avoid the looking down at the screen, which looks terrible. Thanks so much for this!
This was great. I haven't interviewed via Skype, but I work remotely and have to use Skype video for meetings everyday. I'm going to incorporate every tip in my daily set up. Thanks for sharing this information!
Thanks, Bob. For more advanced folks, you can use a diffusion filter (such as very thin paper or a nylon stocking) in front of the light. In my case, I just used a simple webcam with automatic settings, which is what most people have; the camera over-corrected for the background, and made my face a bit too bright. If your webcam allows you to adjust brightness, adjust it for your face, and it's ok if the background is a bit dark.
I followed your tips, step by step, and landed an in person interview within 15 minutes of the Skype session. In fact, I was better prepared than the interviewer. Always good to go above and beyond for interviews.
Sarah Marie J what questions were you asked?! Hope I’m more prepared than my interviewers
awesome, did u get the job?
I have a Skype interview tomorrow and this is really helpful, thanks!
Did you get the job
***** no but I got a different one
What was it for?
How's result? Good luck
This video is EXCELLENT!

Congratulations, even 7 years after you did the video still works and are the basic tips that we need

Best Skype prep I've ever seen!

Prof. Louis d'Rose finds it's to the point, short and simple. Really worth the time spent.
So far the best video I found on this topic
Your video is very essential 3 years after you made it
Precise, practical, straight to the point and informative

Thank you. I have skype interview tomorrow, and this is exactly the kind of tips I had hoped to find on CZcams.
Matt, great job! Well thought out, very organized, attention to detail and great execution.
Thanks for the tips!
This was really useful. I have never had to do an interview online so I didn´t know what to expect, and this really made me realize that there was much more to be taken into consideration than I thought.
Thanks a lot, you deserve a round of applause for the presentation.

Excellent advice! English is my second language and I will remember this in my job interview via Skype tomorrow
I loved it ! :) And your style and sense of humour - incredible, thank you.
Love the video, I really like the examples you demonstrated with different locations and how environment makes a difference with video sound quality.
Bravo! Showing this at an employment workshop. I like all your points on lighting, angle, distance from camera, reducing echo.
This is the best video I have seen to send to my candidates for a video interview!! You go straight to the point, you have a perfect tone of voice and you are brief saying everything we need!! I hate those videos where people talk like they are in a children program. GOOD JOB!!!
this is very very helpful, especially the part that informs about looking straight at the camera/webcam...many thanks
I think it is a short, simple and precise video. Excellent.!
Great tips! I’m a coach and meet clients via video chat often. These are helpful to eliminate distractions
This is as useful today as when it was first posted in 2013. Thanks! Really helpful.

Such a great video! Just posted it to the NAU Career Development pinterest site. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
This was great. I haven't interviewed via Skype, but I work remotely and have to use Skype video for meetings everyday. I'm going to incorporate every tip in my daily set up. Thanks for sharing this information!
Really helpful video! Good advice, plain and simple. Well done!
Thanks, Bob. For more advanced folks, you can use a diffusion filter (such as very thin paper or a nylon stocking) in front of the light. In my case, I just used a simple webcam with automatic settings, which is what most people have; the camera over-corrected for the background, and made my face a bit too bright. If your webcam allows you to adjust brightness, adjust it for your face, and it's ok if the background is a bit dark.
Extremely useful. Thanks!
Great advice - first Skype interview coming up and this was a big help!
Great video! Learned a lot.
